Matassa/Cagnolatti in mix for appointment to Gonzales elective office
04/02/2024 by
Coming up on three weeks since Gonzales Mayor Barney Arceneaux publicly announced his intention to resign, efforts to identify his interim successor remain at an impasse.

Factions politicizing appointment of interim mayorship, Gonzales citizens deserve better
03/27/2024 by
Comical and pathetic, and wholly unsurprising, Gonzales’ governing authority is on the verge of implosion as the timetable for Mayor Barney Arceneaux’s departure has been stepped up according to one vying to succeed him (Arceneaux denied it), and another attempting to effectuate a compromise. Multiple members of the City Council/administration, begging for anonymity, informed that […]
